Does anyone have any experience with these ? Im thinking of buying one to help with sweat in the eyes. I sweat a TON and coifs, bandannas etc only delay the deluge to my vision. Thanks for any replies.

Not those as such, although I knew a couple guys in the Corps who started using them after they shaved their heads.

I had plenty of experience, though, with other padded do-rags. If you soak a bandana, you'll soak this. The only solution is regularly changing your head-covering.

My wife has been using http://www.rei.com/product/697116 and has been very happy with it. I use a padded coif and have not had any issues either.

The part that has me interested is the little yellow thing, supposedly channels the sweat down by you ears and away from your eyes.

The one I linked to has the terry cloth in the same area. Soaking up sweat before it gets in her eyes.

Looking at some other factors in this: Godfrey, what is your helm padding? Some ride a lot hotter than others.

A co worker who was in Iraq spoke highly of them though he was an army artillery man forced into MP work

OK, this is gonna sound REALLY lame.

Have you tried putting a diaper over your forehead in the helm?

If they soak up about 8-12 hours of piss, they should work for your forehead (I've heard of mothers using diapers as breast pads).

Otherwise, another option is to either carry more headcoverings or wring them out more.

If all else fails, learn to fight quick and dirty so you don't break a sweat.

OK, some solutions are outside the box. And Creative.
